About Dagens Ord (JydskeVestkysten)

Dagens Ord (the word of the day) sits on the games page of JydskeVestkysten, the regional daily for southern and western Jutland, next to its crossword and sudoku. It follows the Wordle pattern in Danish: one hidden five-letter word, six guesses, and colour hints after each one.

A green letter is in the word and in the right place, yellow means the letter is in the word but somewhere else, and grey means it is not in the word at all. An alphabet at the bottom of the screen keeps track of the letters you have used. Danish letters such as Æ, Ø and Å are part of the keyboard.

The paper says the day's word is based on its own content and news, which gives the game a local flavour that general Danish Wordle copies lack. Everyone gets the same word on the same day, so results can be compared and shared. It suits Danish speakers who want a short word puzzle with their morning paper.

How to play Dagens Ord (JydskeVestkysten)

1. Open Dagens Ord on jv.dk.
2. Type any valid Danish five-letter word as your first guess and submit it.
3. Read the colours: green is right letter in the right place, yellow is in the word elsewhere, grey is not in the word.
4. Use the hints and the alphabet at the bottom to make your next guess.
5. Find the word within six tries, then come back the next day for a new one.

Tips

• Open with a word that uses common Danish letters such as E, R, N, T and A.
• Remember Æ, Ø and Å; a stubborn word often hides one of them.
• The word is drawn from the paper's news and content, so recent local stories can be a clue.
